Awesome authentic food from Ding How. I always loved getting the egg here as a kid and coming back the cuisine is still so delicious, the courses I recently tried like the Beef and pepper dish although a little spicy very good. The service is lacking—due to a couple people running the family business and the waitress of the restaurant was also telling me of the fall from covid and that they might close. Support this restaurant!! Although it says mandarin they are superior at cantonese cuisine! The atmosphere is warm and makes me feel at home not to mention the food just taking me to bed as well. Ding How Davis, how I love you.

Always a great place for vegan Chinese food in Davis! We love how large their vegetarian menu is and the food always tastes fresh.

Some great dishes, particularly on the vegan menu. Some dishes are mediocre, very American chinese levels of flavor and spice.

I used to love Ding How's Chow Mein. It could be a meal unto itself. Sadly, no more. My husband decided to bring home Chow Mein. I opened it and immediately thought he was lying about where it came from as it looked and tasted like the Safeway's. I don't like Safeway's as it is noodles, a little meat and undercooked celery. Well that's exactly what Ding How's Chow Mein circa 2025 is. I see their menu is still huge. Why pay restaurant fare for a grocery store quality? I did confirm it came from Ding How. We won't be back.

Great Classic Chinese food restaurant! Went here with my mom last night. Great WonTon soup, excellent broth. Fresh vegetables in S&S pork. I’ll definitely go again! Food was fast, wait staff was attentive, easy on the wallet.

I love to support small family owned restaurants and was in the neighborhood with my daughter and needed to grab some food. We stopped by between lunch and dinner. The atmosphere reminded me of stepping back to 1999. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the service was very slow. We enjoyed watching YouTube shorts on the dining room t.v. with the employee's children who were watching t.v. and in the restaurant during summer break. That did not bother us at all. However, the food was disappointing. The hot and sour soup was good but the friend rice was the worse I have ever had. It smelled burned and spoiled. My daughter and I tasted it and could not continue eating it. The honey walnut shrimp was delicious. I am not sure if the rice was leftover and they tried to re-cook it or if the wok they cooked it in was burned already. If they improve their food, I would give them a chance again.

5 stars literally so good and affordable. The vibe is immaculate!
They cant accommodate to customers coming in 15 minutes after their cut off time for some Fried Rice hands down one of the worst Chinese restaurants I've ever had come in contact with never eat here ever again!

The vegetarian menu is EXTRAORDINARY! I was ecstatic the first time I ate their vegetarian beef. I almost cried the first time I ate their vegetarian sweet and sour shrimp. A review below said the vegetarian dish had meat in it. No, it doesn't. It is just that good! I'm from out of town and I try to time my visits to eat and to take another entree home. I've never had such good Chinese vegetarian food!

Low quality food! Ding How has never had the best tasting food, however, over the past few years, the quality of their fare has declined. On top of having unappealing food, their service is horrible, and they are rude. If you ask them a question, they appear irritable and are short and dry, and I’m talking simple questions like, may I please have a few packets of soy sauce. If you ask for special requests like sauce on the side, or no lettuce under your shrimp and they forget to meet your request, they are not courteous in correcting their error. I can no longer support this business. The egg fu young was burnt, the pork in the fried rice was old, the chicken was undercooked, and overall, not even a subpar dining experience.

Absolutely terrible experience to do online ordering with this restaurant. I placed an order that was confirmed at 9:27 AM, the delivery driver showed up ~ 11:40 AM, the order was not ready until 12:46 PM. The meeting I had scheduled was only an hour so there was no lunch for the meeting. ALSO, the order was not packaged correctly and when I called the restaurant they were not helpful in the slightest and hung up on me. Perhaps the food is delicious, but the service and timeliness were atrocious.
